	The Stand-Up Physicist: Diabetes Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This time Doug discusses his chronic illness: the discovery, how the disease works, and how it has effected him. Keywords: comedy; diabetes Downloads: 165
	The Stand-Up Physicist: God Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show explain's Doug's approach to the biggest topic outside of physics there is, God. A brief definition of God will be presented that has been useful to Doug. Keywords: physics; comedy; god Downloads: 409 Average rating: (1 review)
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Funky Tunes Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show features the entire repeatoire of Doug's songs on the piano. Keywords: physics; music; comedy Downloads: 205
	The Stand-Up Physicist: APS Meeting Talk - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. Laws of physics look the same if time flips its sign, but by always using spacetime, there is a handedness to spacetime reversal. Half integer spin is considered a mystery, but we clarify what it means using a bud tall boy. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Comedy; Spin Downloads: 156
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Light, Art & Physics - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show discusses two original artworks I produced inspired by lessons from physics: "The Speed of Light According to Rene Magritte" and "Groups of Coherent Photons Behave Like Waves and Particles". Keywords: theoretical physics, art, comedy Downloads: 367
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Flexible Geometry - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show answers a criticism raised by Prof. John Baez who asserted that the GEM model fixed the background metric. By direct calculation of a static point charge, it is shown that the good professor is wrong because he did not see the change in potential/metric diffeomorphism. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Gravity; background structure Downloads: 412
	The Stand-Up Physicist: IAP Lecuture 4 of 6 Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This is fourth of six talks given to a very small audience at MIT during the Independent Activities Period (IAP). The topics covered are quantization and the standard model. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; comedy; standard model; quantization; forces Downloads: 148

This is the third of six talks given to a very small audience at MIT during the Independent Activities Period (IAP). The topics covered are a physically relevant solution to the field equations, and forces. Keywords: theoterical physics; comdey; field equation solutions; forces Downloads: 490
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Why Quantum Mechanics is Weird - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show tries to explain why quantum mechanics has to be the way it is, due to a new definition of the calculus of 4D events in spacetime. Pictures are provided. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Quantum Mechanics; Education: Entertainment Downloads: 3,400
	The Stand-Up Physicist: IAP Lecture 6 of 6 Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This is the third of six talks given to a very small audience at MIT during the Independent Activities Period (IAP). The topics covered are relativistic and classical gravity. The theory makes specific testible predictions that could be confirmed or rejected on experimental grounds. Keywords: theoretical physics; comedy; testible predictions Downloads: 433
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Lecture 1 of 6 - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show is one of six talks given to a very small audience at MIT during the Independent Activities Period (IAP) titled "Unifying Gravity and EM by Analogies to EM." The topic covered are: 1. Must Do Physics, 2. Tensors, 3. Units. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Gravity Downloads: 983
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Unifying Gravity and EM - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show touches three important puzzles: how to unify gravity and light, how to quantize such a proposal, and a new way to explain how galaxies rotate. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Speculation Downloads: 675
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Lecture 2 of 6 - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This is two of six talks given to a very small audience at MIT during th Independent Activities Period (IAP). The topic covered is Lagrange densities. Keywords: Theoretical Physics; Gravity; Lagrange density Downloads: 572
	The Stand-Up Physicist: Time Reversal and Spin - Doug Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. The laws of physics, mathematically, don't care about the direction of time, yet our experience has a clear arrow. By shifting the question a bit, it becomes reasonable to expect a direction to the arrow of spacetime, because space has a handedness. Half-integer spin appears as a mystery, unless you look at a beer can in a new way. Keywords: Theoretical physics, comedy, time, spin Downloads: 334
	The Stand-Up Phycisist: Einstein - Douglas Sweetser Part of the Stand-Up Physicist series, half hour chats by Doug Sweetser about his theoretical physics research. This show talks all about Einstein, his musical creativity, his hope for a unified field theory, and special relativity. My own efforts and artwork are weaved into the stories told.
